CAA, NRC nothing to do with Hindu-Muslim divide: RSS Chief

Ad

Bhubaneswar/Assam: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat opined that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) have nothing to do with Hindu-Muslim divide, and the communal narrative surrounding the two issues were being peddled by some to gain political mileage. He further emphasised that no Muslim will face any loss due to the citizenship law. The citizenship law will provide protection to persecuted minorities in the neighbouring countries, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief underlined. “We reach out to the majority communities, too, in these countries during a calamity. So if there are some who wish to come to our country due to threats and fear, we will definitely have to help them out,” Bhagwat said. Talking about NRC, he stated that all nations have the right to know who its citizens are. “The matter is in the political domain as the government is involved in it. A section of people want to get political mileage by creating a communal narrative around these two issues,” he added.
